“Easy walk from Prison City, located on the main street. It didn't look like any thought was put into the interior, kind of a jumbled mess of tables and empty boxes. Short bar. Charged $1 extra on the beers because they had a band (Friday night). Beer was Ok. Did not feel comfortable in there.“

“Located in downtown on a corner. Pretty busy place. Parking is generally available. The vibe of the old building was kept intact, and the tables were packed in pretty tightly. Medium sized bar. Kitchen and food, decent quality. Kind of dark and noisy. Good service.“

“Great big new beautiful clean place! Plenty of great outdoor seating. Some covered, some not. Fire pits, putting green, corn hole. Oh, and more of a beer selection than the downtown location.“

“Pretty significant selection for this area not far from Prison City. Nondescript gas station from the outside, but a fair amount of space devoted to good beer once inside.“

“Went for lunch after a couple years of hoping to get here. Tons of beer on tap, about 15 of their own plus 4 guests. Tasting sets at $10 for 4 are just slightly cheaper than half pints but we wanted to try a lot. Beers were generally quite good. A few were great, and a few were lacking. I was satisfied, though my expectations were probably too high based on what I had heard. Lots of hazy beers, all of which were well done. Food was also good. A pretty cool place, really. I would be psyched if it was in my neighborhood.“

“Nice brewpub in the small town of Auburn, NY, on the way to Rochester along rt 90. Beers were solid (had a tasty sour brown, saison, wheat ale, and IPA). The food is gastropub fare; I had a delicious seitan cuban sandwich. Overall, great beer, good food, and worth a stop. It is a convenient place to stop while traveling to Rochester.“

“Rating would really depend on what’s on tap. They seem to only have about 6 taps available. When I was in, no IPAs available, pretty much just a basic stout, brown and amber ale. They were fine but not that exciting. Lively place, was there during the day, and it was like a daycare. I’m not at all opposed to kids in drinking places, I bring mine all the time, but man it was weird that there were so many. Ah well. Food was good, service was good.“

“In on a Friday night around 8, late in April. Place is slammed and yet our table wait was only about 10 minutes. Could have possibly snagged some bar seats, but opted for the table since things were moving quickly. Lots of the tables were large groups, and it was apparently birthday night as there were at least 3 separate large group birthdays that I spotted while there. Definitely a place that the locals love if they’re coming here for their special events. Ordered a flight while my wife grabbed a full pour of a porter. Every beer was great. Beers are priced well (ok, very well for the quality). Food seemed to be priced decently. Could have been $1-2 cheaper for most items, but also could have been $1-2 higher and they could still get away with it, so they’re probably at a good price point. Food was pretty solid, but the beer is the reason to be here. Ben makes amazing beers. We made this a scheduled stop (with local hotel after) on our way to a weekend in Rochester, so it’s certainly worth the stop in my opinion, and more than likely is worth the detour. Not sure how soon I’ll get to be back (about 4 hours from me), but I certainly will be back.“

“Put this on our calendar to come here a few weeks back. By the time we got here though they did not have any of the Roit IPA’s on tap. D’oh. They had some other nice House beers though and some very good guest beers. A nice variety. It’s a real nice place and the server was attententive and informative. We had a good time.“

“Super friendly, family run and family style. Got to know husband wife and Mom and we really enjoyed our stay, and tried some chili along with beer and it really seemed homey. Beer was okay not great, but hit the spot. Prices were good. Serve only their beer of course. They make dark beers but sell out of them quickly and none were currently on tap when we were there.“

“Outstanding and definitely a destination. We had decent appetizer food, flights mostly of their beers, 5 or 6 available. Some had a few guest beers which were well chosen. Prices reasonable. No crowlers of their beers due to limited availability. Waitress was knowldedgeable, will be back.“

“A very nice bistro brewpub in the heart of town. Service started OK and ended great with the brewer taking an interest in us and offering us some other samples and stuff reserved for a VIP..... Very nice guy and down to earth. Selection was good, but only a few by the brewer, but the guest list was amazing and well curated. We didn’t eat, but prices for the flight and beers was well prices. A must stop, this place is going to be huge soon.“

“Top notch sours that won’t fly under the radar for long. No crowler fills of sours, but available for guests and the other house beers. Must stop in the area.“

“Fantastic addition to the brewing scene in Upstate NY. Sour game is strong, and, damn, the Puff Puff Shiv (made with Cocoa Puffs) is interesting as all get out. Looking forward to what the do this summer!“

“This was a decent beer store for the area. I thought the selection was pretty good. It does not look like much from the outside but we were very surprised once we went inside and walked around. We spent maybe 20-30 minutes looking through the beers. Good beer stop.“
